Randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study of fluticasone propionate in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the ISOLDE trial
TL;DR: Improvements in clinical outcomes support the use of this treatment in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as patients on fluticasone propionate had fewer exacerbations and a slower decline in health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchodilator reversibility testing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: In moderate to severe COPD bronchodilator responsiveness is a continuous variable, and classifying patients as “responders” and “non-responder” can be misleading and does not predict disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of preventing exacerbations on deterioration of health status in COPD.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fluticasone propionate (FP) on exacerbations of chronic obstuctive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with worse health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health Status Deterioration in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that health status decline in moderate to severe COPD can be reduced by high-dose fluticasone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time course of recovery of health status following an infective exacerbation of chronic bronchitis
Sally Spencer,Paul W. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: A single infective AECB has a sustained effect on health status and the recovery period is long even in patients who have no further exacerbations, a second episode within 6 months limits recovery markedly.
